Apple Inc. AAPL has launched its highly-anticipated Emergency SOS via satellite service on all iPhone 14 models in select countries.

“Some of the most popular places to travel are off the beaten path and simply lack cellular coverage. With Emergency SOS via satellite, the iPhone 14 lineup provides an indispensable tool that can get users the help they need while they are off the grid,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.

Emergency SOS via satellite feature will be available on iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

The feature is now available in the U.S. and Canada, while it will roll out in France, Germany, Ireland and the U.K. in December. 

Apple’s latest iPhone lineup also includes a crash detection feature that notifies emergency responders if the smartphone owner is involved in an automobile collision. The feature was, however, triggered by a rollercoaster ride too.
